I have a great respect for my dad. He's my role model and I admire him so much that sometimes I try too much to be just like him; hard working, successful and definitely good at what he does. He's like the middle class Donald Trump or Bill Gates wherein almost everything he touches turns to gold (just an expression..but you know what I mean..) He has this rags to riches kinda story growing up and having to go home to where he grew up (my grandma's house) every weekend when I was young was what kept me and my siblings grounded beyond all bountiful blessings we have.
The one thing that differs from both my dad and I though are the sense of having friends. He always keep on reminding me everytime we have a "talk" that friends can never help you when you need them based from his experience and based from how long his been living on earth. I totally disagree. Maybe he just didn't have the luxury of having true friends like I have. Probably he's just used to relying so much on his own when he was growing up to have the time to bond and produce some deep friendships. Because my bestfriends have been there for me no matter how screwed up I turned out to be and no matter how my insanity drove them to their limits. My bestfriends always try to understand patiently each and every thing I decide randomly in my life. ( I always decide randomly..unpredictable very much)
I'm the "carefree" one in our group; the one everybody loves and likes; the one who can blend easily with others because of my utterly pleasing personality ------ which of course in turn, brings me into a lot of trouble sometimes. And if they're not the ones bailing me out from the mess, it's either we are all in the same mess. And I know it sounds corny already but that's what friends are for. Right now, they are the ones processing my stuffs for my school. Though they have super hectic schedules of their own; one is busy with her sign off sheets and scrubs thingamabob and the other one is starting residency next week, they still managed to squeeze me in. They are the ones doing all the enrollments and stuffs I needed for the start of school next month which was suppose to be my job if there was only an earlier flight for me to book. But since it's Holy week in the coming weeks, my travel agent can't do anything much really, she had put me on waiting lists in some flights in case but that's all she can do for now.
I don't know what's the feeling without great friends...coz I've always been blessed with great people around me and I intend to keep it that way. I'm so grateful that as I mature, I learn more and more about life and people and how to survive in this crazy world. I'm still finding myself and my happiness. Nobody says it's icing on the cake all the time. It's tough.
